Have you always wanted to learn to knit your own socks but felt intimidated by the process? Socks are a great mini-canvas to show off your knitting skills and keep your feet toasty too!

This class will teach you all you need to know to make socks; and in DK weight - they will fly! Together we will go step-by-step to demystify process and set you on your way to a new world of sock-knitting.

Instructor: Rachel Ruvo

Prerequisites: Basic knitting skills including: Knit/Purl, Long-tail Cast-on, Knowledge of basic increases & decreases, Understanding of Magic Loop (or have watched a YouTube video on it), Ability to read a knitting pattern (Basic garment experience a plus but not required).
